Greg, Dan:
One of my first antennas put up in Alaska was a simple 2m J-Pole. I
used the upper portion of a TV mast and used a 1/4 wave section of
copper tubing clamped 3/4 wave length below the top end of the
mast. Attaching coax to the stub and mast at a point to give a
50-ohm match. Worke

To all those speculating on the reason for ARISSat not coming on, I recommend
patience.
We will have a telecon with the Russian ham radio specialist and get the actual
information from him.
As soon as we have real information it will be passed on.

Burns,
The TM-D700 used the cross band repeater function to listen to the ARISSat 2
meter FM voice, and then rebroadcast it on 70 cm. It was reported to have
been used to check the first short test. I do stuff like that in the home
shack, even using dummy loads, but then I don't live in a metal
"
If that cannot be done then the option is to launch ARISSat as is and let it
run off the
solar panels."
pleased to be wrong here but I dont think that is an option. I "THINK" (and
you know that really could be wrong) that the battery is essential for the 15
minute "silent" period on launch
According to the ARISSAT-1 critical design review, the battery is
mission-critical for the first 15 minutes. I assume it has to run the
15-minute timer that delays that start of operation until the bird is some
distance from the 'nauts. Based on that info, I would guess it is not
viable to launch
I wrote an article for the AMSAT Journal back in 2005 that showed my solution.
It consists of a box placed between the headset and the adapter. I connected
two 3.5 mm jacks into the speaker circuit. One jack gets connected to the
input of the recorder. The second jack is available for use by

I will have to look into that - that definitely sounds like a possibility!
I am using an RCA recorder right now. It's not the best, but it has worked
so far.

Hi Patrick,
I think I am probably going to stay away from the traveler for now, only
because I really enjoy having the recordings available, and it doesn't sound
like I can do that with the traveler. I thought about splitting the audio,
and I will have to think that through some more before I
Hi!
I've been asked by a few people recently if I am going to be at Dayton
next month. I've been there the past two years, but will not make it
this year. Maybe in 2012. As this year's Hamvention is starting, I
will be flying to Australia. I have never been there before, so this
